Good afternoon all,

I have a tenant that is moving out on may 31st which is the final day of the lease agreement. This is my first moveout as I am a new landlord. The tenant has requested the final walkthrough today 3/26,to be done on the 31st of this month. they have notified me that they will be completly moved out on the 31st. As far as a walk through in the state of california, am i required to give a final walk throug? also,could anyone give me the rundown on what I should be doing as far as this walk through goes? If possibel, is there some step by step reading material or website I could read over before the walk through?

I just received a call from my tenants and they notified me that the gas was cut off due to an earthquake valve being activated. I spoke with the gas company and they said that either one of the tenants could have bumped/hit the gas meter or a large truck could have driven down the street and activated it. There will be an $80 fee for the gas company to come and turn the gas back on. I am curious if this is a fee that the tenant would pay as the utilities are in their name or is this a fee that i should pay out of my pocket? This is a duplex property and only one units gas valve was activated located in Wilmington CA.

Thank you for any help or advice.
